Petitioner, Agency No. A092-452-646
v.
MEMORANDUM*
ROBERT M. WILKINSON, Acting
Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted January 20, 2021**
Before: McKEOWN, CALLAHAN, and BRESS, Circuit Judges.
Carlos Gonzalez-Melgoza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an
immigration judge’s decision denying his application for deferral of removal under
the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
§ 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Garcia-
Milian v. Holder, 755 F.3d 1026, 1031 (9th Cir. 2014). We deny the petition for
review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Gonzalez-Melgoza’s
CAT claim because he did not establish that it is more likely than not he would be
tortured by or with the consent or acquiescence of the government if returned to
Mexico. See id. at 1033-35 (concluding that petitioner did not establish the
necessary state action for CAT relief); Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148,
1152 (9th Cir. 2010) (generalized evidence of violence and crime in Mexico was
not particular to the petitioner and insufficient to establish eligibility for CAT
relief).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
